Advantages: Out of the town Disadvantages: Too many people!
...I'm glad that I did not get to read any of the reviews before I went to this hotel, or see the Holidays from Hell programme the night before!
The hotel can be found along the seafront, about three miles from the main centre of Blackpool, heading out towards Fleetwood. It is now under the Britannia hotels group and it is easily accessible by tram and bus. We used the trams the whole time instead of me driving all the time.
My husband, my two youngest children and myself went last week for a couple of nights, after finding an advert which gave a special price of £35 per person dinner bed and breakfast per night.

Introduction
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Norbreck CastleHotel has been in Blackpool a long time. I have been lucky enough to go to this hotel on several occasions and for many different reasons.

Everyone enjoyed themselves and it was a good reunion and all of our family turned up and it was held in a really big room. When we arrived at the hotel we were taken into a room where we were served drinks and had snacks such as nuts and crisps. The room was really...
